Building new pc need help

holy cow, over 7 G's on a computer w/o a monitor...that's insane. would 4 graphics cards even help? and a thousand dollor cpu.....wow. i'm not sure how much of a performance gain youre gonna get spending that much money on all that stuff. i can't help but wonder if you've just kind of looked at the most expensive stuff and said, ok, one of those. and in other cases...four of those. almost doesn't seem worth it.

where abouts in NY are you? i live 40 min away from frozencpu. you can maybe take it to soyata, but i'm not sure if i trust those guys.

build it yourself. it seems like you don't know much about what you're doing, (i don't mean that to be rude) i think that if you read about it a little bit you might save yourself quite a bit of cash, and possibly aggrivation - who knows, maybe even a couple of graphics cards.

are you running raid at all? why 3 HDD's?

back to the cpu for a minute, why do you want that one?

he's right... first of all what you need 4 video cards for ? 1 will do anything you want...
 
What do you mean i didnt understand you post 7 gigs with a monitor what do you mean and about the processor what should it help?

And can you give me a pc for a cheaper price that will be as good as this one??

AMD Athlon 64 FX60 Toledo
1 raptor 76gb and other 2 hd's 300gb seagate sata (about $120 each)
2gb of ram (get 4gb if you can blow the cash)
ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe
you dont need 1000W power supply, get 550W power supply for like $150
1 GeForce 7900 GTX EXTREME
Creative Sound Blaste
LG dvd cdr burner for like $50

you will save more then half, and wont see any difference between this or what you configured
 
ight can you now tell me who could put this pc for me?Could i send it to some company?

And i think if i get 2 7900 gtx extreme in sli i think it will make a diffrence

7 G's (7 Thousand Dollors) without monitor - that's a lot of money

I don't see what you're going to gain by spending that much on a CPU or a whole computer for that matter.

I spent about $1,700 - $1,800 for everything....keyboard, mouse....everything that you need to make a computer work, including a 20" widescreen high definition monitor. Mine isn't set up for harcore gamming but it wouldn't take much get it there. At absolute most I think (with mine - if I was going to set it up for gamming) I'd upgrade to (2) 7800's in SLI and possibly run some sort of a RAID setup.

If you're that concerned with making an easy gamming machine and you don't want to read up on how to build it or learn about what you're doing, buy an Xbox.

Also, as of Oct. '05 Nvidia didn't support 4 graphics cards, which is the chipset for that Motherboard, not sure about if it does now. And if I understand correctly, you won't be able to run them in SLI at all, so without having at least 4 Monitors, it won't do you any good. However, if you DO have four monitors, you stll could run 2 cards and hook them up to 4 monitors.

High price doesn't mean good computer.
 
plus they kinda rip you off amd fx 60 costs 1300 and on zipzoomfly.com about 1000

I dont acually care but its money too
 
So your saying getting 2 sli is better then 4 sli??

Cuz i dont get it if you have single core cpu and dual core cpu of course that the dual core is going to make a big diffrence and i could prove that cuz i have a dual core cpu right now....
 
And one more thing if a get an AMD Opteron will it be much better for me if i use gaming than fx60 cuz the AMD Opteron is a server pc ??
 
Another question if i would be the 1k power supply it wont take the whole 1000 watts it will only take the 600 or 500 that the pc will be using right?

And one thing about the case that i want the koolance i want it so bad because it's almost the same one that sits in the voodoo omen for about 13000.

what you mean by 2sli or 4sli ? i think you mean having 2 video cards or 4 ? if so, i'm not saying that 2 is better then 4, BUT unless you do some crazy/hardcore animations/rendering or something like that you will not see any difference in playing games, everyday computer use...

fx60 is dual core, and ya dual core overall is better then single core...

i'm using 520W power supply right now to power up athlon dual core 4400 x2, 4 hard drives (1 raptor and 3 seagates) and dual geforce 6800's... i'm VERY sure that 550W is more then enough for what you need
